A full-time direct sales opportunity in Durban is open to friendly, confident people who enjoy helping customers and working toward clear sales goals. Advertised for matriculants by LW Recruitment Consulting, this retail role is about representing a brand well, supporting shoppers from their first question to a completed purchase, and helping a store team hit its daily and weekly targets.
About the company and the work
LW Recruitment Consulting is recruiting a Retail Sales Assistant for a direct sales position in Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. The work sits firmly on the shop floor: welcoming customers, learning what they need, and recommending products or services that fit. It is a customer-facing role in a dynamic retail setting, where good service, product knowledge and teamwork all contribute directly to sales growth and repeat business.
Role details and duties
The successful candidate will welcome and engage customers in a friendly, professional manner, understand their needs, and drive sales through confident product knowledge and clear communication. Duties include building relationships that encourage repeat business, meeting individual and team sales targets, and handling questions, concerns and objections in a helpful, solution-focused way.
You will also process transactions accurately and efficiently, maintain attractive product displays, keep the retail space clean and organised, and stay up to date with product information, promotions and new launches. The role includes supporting the wider team in achieving daily and weekly performance goals, delivering a consistently high standard of customer service, and helping to create a welcoming, professional retail environment.
Requirements

- Previous experience in retail, direct sales, customer service, or a similar customer-facing role.

- A proactive and positive approach to sales.
- The ability to work well both independently and as part of a team.
- Good organisational skills and attention to detail.
- Comfort working toward targets and performance goals.
